Kristin Felicia VanNest The same here. Rurik shows up as my 30th great-grandfather - & since some of the info. on the page is rather iffy about his beginnings, I'd like to know more.

And to you too, another cousin....from another branch of my tree....
If you are using Chrome or similar click your right mouse button then go to the bottom of the pop up menu and select Translate to English. It does quite a good job with Russian.
As for Rurik being "iffy", Igor had to have a father biologically, whether his father's name was actually Rurik is impossible to prove but that's the tradition. Whether there ever was a man name Rurik is difficult to say. Whether there was a man that lived the life of the legendary Rurik is very unlikely, the earliest sources are still at least hundreds of years after the events.
Greetings Alex...thanks for the advice....
